You really think the current situation is libertarian?

There is so much regulation around anything even remotely medically related. Just look at the HIPPA mess.

Edit: why are you downvoting without rebuttal? Its utterly false to claim the system is libertarian.
I think it would be interesting if we had a P2P network that was only for Open Source source code, and it would be backed-up on a bunch of servers around the world run by volunteers (to prevent data loss) at regular intervals...

(Note: This idea isn't fully fleshed-out yet. I'm sure that conceptually this idea has or would have a large amount of problems -- but all of those could in theory be solved in time with the correct engineering efforts...)
Whatever markups are there are not linear, interestingly.

I had to get an MRI from a vet hospital in the past. It was still over a thousand bucks, and in the range of quotes I'd gotten for human MRIs before.

I wonder what similar stitches in an urgent care vs a primary care office vs an ER for a human would cost.

"simply do not have a generic merge operation defined the same way as RDF does."

Who cares? This is not a problem anyone has, which is precisely why so few formats have a solution.

"widespread industry use"

It's not in "widespread" use. It's in niche use, and it's been in niche use for about two decades, and shows no sign of escaping that niche.

Human perception is a bit broken here. You show a list of 100 users and it looks like a tech is in "widespread use"... because you don't intuit that the market has hundreds of thousands of users, if not millions. (I'm being conservative. It's almost certainly millions.) RDF is niche. You can comfortably read an effectively-complete list of users over a coffee break. Try that trick with JSON.

Also, to be honest, referring to "haters" rather proves my point about just how quickly insults get trotted out. You almost literally just said "RDF!" with no further substantive conversation exactly the way I mentioned! I know about RDF. I used it ~2005 when working on some Mozilla stuff. It had every opportunity to overtake JSON, and was never in any danger of it.

In fact my current job for the last few weeks has been working on a massively cross-team data lake in the company I work for... and nobody is talking about RDF. Not me (and I do know it, actually), not any vendor that might provide useful technology, not any vendor that consumes data to provide reports on it (nobody consumes RDF in this space), nobody. Nominally a core use case for "semanticness", and it's a complete non-starter.
Well before space X, we did have private companies, but they were government contractors and a monopoly. So they had no incentive to reduce prices.

It’s almost like SpaceX took rockets from being a consulting business to a product business.

is this sort of the “free market” example of disruptions in healthcare space that could may be move healthcare in US towards a model where you pay for what it actually costs instead of the inflated and opaque pricing that private health insurance thrives on ?
Then why the same drugs are incredibly cheaper in other wealthy countries? They don't pay salaries there?

Healthcare in the US is a scam. There's no other way to look at it.
What if you do, though?

Flexbox is a CSS 3 feature. Support appears to have been implemented in FF and Chrome around 2012-2014 and still doesn't fully work in IE[1].

The fact that a site uses CSS and HTML instead of Javascript does not imply that it's easier for older browsers to display.

Javascript 1.0 was released in 1996.

As someone who did a lot of desktop application development prior to the web just totally gutting native app development, this is my take:

The problem is that people want to make dynamic applications that have a rich UX and deep system integration while being highly portable.

Unfortunately, it turns out that "portable" is basically a Great Filter for applications. If you can't run it, you can't use it and the rich UX and deep system integrations don't matter.

So developers cast about looking for alternatives to Qt and GTK and friends. Flash and Java (and Silverlight....) all had browser plugins and offered vaguely convenient APIs for building applications with rich UXs. Unfortunately those plugins had inherent technical issues and died (or were killed, as it were).

So what platform remained that had super easy distribution and portability? A XML document format that supported directives for styling xml and some rudimentary scripting language that could dynamically change that xml and styling.

So that's what ended up getting built upon. And now, since abstraction can do anything, we finally have things resembling what we had 30 years ago in desktop applications but built on top of a standardized runtime with a JIT and a sandbox and a nascent assembly language. So that's finally what people use.

I really had nothing but disdain for web applications built with javascript/jquery soup for the longest time. They worked, sure, and printed money and all that, but I was bitter that such poor technology was what won, instead of some evolution of the existing desktop app paradigm.

Now with React et al it's finally getting bearable again. But I still find myself wishing I could just say forget all this web junk, I could write this as a Swing or JavaFX program in 10% of the time.

(It's just unfortunate that nobody would be able to use it because nobody downloads programs off random websites anymore except Putty and nobody has an (independently-installed) Java runtime anymore. Which brings us right back to the initial problem).
Private healthcare existed long before prices skyrocketed. Health insurance did not.

That has actually nothing to do with intelligence and everything to do with experience in certain arenas. You haven't fallen prey to scams because you are experienced with avoiding scams.

I guarantee there are people who are a hell of a lot smarter than you, know a hell of a lot more about many areas than you, who have very little experience avoiding internet scams (for one reason or another) who might well fall prey to them. Given enough experience would they learn how to avoid them? Yes. But in the mean time, their lack of that experience does not mean they deserve to fall prey to those scams - nor that we shouldn't go after and punish the scammers.

Actually, you are kinda right here
Here's my problem with it: when the 'Experimenter' appealed to the necessity of science, compliance rates where highest. When the Experimenter appealed to pure authority and gave direct commands, compliance rates were low.

The experiments were performed in a proud university town. What Milgram actually demonstrated is that those people trust scientists and believe in the value of science. In other words, they obeyed commands when those commands seemed to align with their preexisting worldview and ideology.

The inspiration of these experiments was Adolf Eichmann's plea that he was merely following orders. Milgram obstensibly set out to disprove that, but is said to have inadvertently proved Eichmann's plea plausible; if Milgram showed that people do follow orders, then maybe Eichmann's innocence plea was plausible. But we know Eichmann was not simply following orders. There is ample evidence that he was enthusiastic about the Holocaust and went above and beyond what was required of him. Eichmann may have been following orders, but they were orders he was ideologically aligned with. Just like the Milgram subjects were ideologically aligned with the value of science.

Many variations on the Milgram experiment were conducted. When the Experimenter didn't dress like a scientist, compliance was lower. I didn't hear this until years after I was told about the experiments in my undergrad psychology class. When I learned this, I felt deceived. It turns the mainstream conclusion on it's head.

If we were to run a modern experiment more applicable to Eichmann's 'following orders' plea, the Experimenter would be dressed like a cop and the Learner would be a black man. How many people (except the overtly racist) would follow orders in this scenario, when the orders were so flagrantly in violation of their personal values? Virtually none I assert. That's the obvious water is wet answer, while Milgram's answer is the shockingly unintuitive headline grabbing conclusion. Milgram's conclusion asks us to believe there is an Adolf Eichmann lurking inside all of us, waiting for heinous orders to execute. That just doesn't jive with what we actually know about Nazis.

It turns out markets are a great solution to some kinds of problems and not so much for others. There's a lot of reasons why healthcare doesn't approximate a free market very well, and why government intervention here tends to do better than the US system. Yes I know there is plenty of government intervention in the US healthcare system - it's just not the right kind of intervention.

The US is actually the only developed nation without a public healthcare system, it also has the highest healthcare costs of any nation on earth. Coincidence?

It seems like a pretty big mess at the moment.
Is everyone else thinking what I'm thinking? Did Trump suppress this investigation for 4 years?
There's nothing libertarian about the US healthcare system. If anything, it's a great example of regulatory capture by the AMA and insurance industry.

I think it's breadth and depth of experience - both in using software, and in writing/supporting it - that is the truly correlated variable. (EDIT: though, yes, you're right that introspection and thoughtfulness also help. Someone who's been through a hundred firefights and not learned from them will not think about those things - but also, an introspective and thoughtful person who hasn't experienced or heard of certain failure cases won't have easy references or checklists to call to mind)

Very true. We're thinking about offering some kind of volume-based for small companies but with a limit that we won't go over. There are some solutions and we will try to offer the pricing the most adapted to the needs of our users. It will be an iterative process for sure!
While I agree with your message of "make things accessible" I think you're pointing the finger the wrong way.

> This is a fantastic article, it does miss one very key point about bog-standard HTML which is worth mentioning though.

> The standard widgets are all accessible, people with screen readers, limited mobility, poor vision, etc, all rely on pages being written so the devices they use to read the web can function properly. People who choose to eschew these standard components very frequently end up with a site which is unusable for disabled people.

> Very few people have the skill to turn a div into an effective button, yet over and over I see web sites with rows of buttons which are in fact just divs with javascript behind them.

Using a div as a button is not "bog-standard" HTML or a "standard component". Use a button and be done with it.

Using React or whatever does not prevent you from doing this, and in fact makes it less obvious to anyone doing a cursory review. I've not seen any difference overall in the amount of people knowingly using divs as buttons with plain HTML vs whatever framework, but I have seen an increase in unknowingly doing so by importing a calendar widget or similar without reviewing it.
Older people stare at their phones when they're in restaurants because they are often with their spouse, and they already spend 100% of their time with each other. Their lives are encumbered with child rearing, house maintenance, and other time-consuming adulthood chores. So when you see them at a restaurant, they're both thinking Thank god we can finally sit down and peacefully stare at our phones in peace.

Why would you think poor whites are to blame? If anything they are getting even more shafted than minorities: there is 0 sympathy if not outright hatred for poor whites, males in particular. Witness the opioid holocaust.

I would instead blame all the elites that profit from the unfortunate but very real and universal human tendency towards racial prejudice. It is the oldest trick in the book, you identify some sub-group, preferably through something obvious like race, and you blame another groups woes on them. Politicians play that game, the news media plays that game and social networks accidentally machine learn it. It is all obvious and disgusting and treasonous.

The tax system is effectively an operant-conditioning system, functioning on both corporations and individuals, where the negative stimuli are taxes and the positive stimuli are tax credits.

Seen under this lens, any individual or corporation who is not practicing optimal "tax avoidance" — i.e. doing the things required to qualify for tax credits, and avoiding the things that would cause taxes — is not putting themselves as fully under the thumb of the state's operant-conditioning apparatus as the state would like.

The state wants you to min-max your taxes. The tax system is designed around the assumption that taxable entities will min-max their taxes. If you're not doing it, you're not just leaving free money on the table; you're also being sub-optimally pro-social in the state's (society's?) opinion. "Tax avoidance" is to Western states, as "social credit score" is to China: a score of how well you're living up to the government's expectations for you. Of course they want you to aim for the best score you can!

(I can understand people refusing to minimize their tax burden for ideological reasons — i.e. refusing to be manipulated into certain behaviors by the state. But I don't think I've ever heard anyone espouse this stance. Most people don't even understand that taxes are the state attempting to manipulate you.)
>Taking your system design example, a poorly-designed system can

Sure, but I had 0 system design experience applying for a role with 0 system design responsibilities. No reason to expect I could design a system like that or that I would need to be able to for that role.

I'm not saying that they're wrong necessarily. It's more a commentary on how there's a huge swath of companies with basically no entry level. You're expected to know CS fundamentals, a bunch of algorithms, and be able to design a highly scalable system.
Granted, you could also get similar boilerplate from Googling your query and checking the top answer on Stack Overflow. That's free, and includes discussions on constraints/optimization.
Maybe this is true for some topics. Yeah, a lot of times you can pick up a new programming language by playing around with it. I don't think most people will have much luck learning say, advanced mathematics by just futzing around and skimming Wikipedia though.

Even topics like ML (an example referenced by the original post) benefit greatly from an understanding of theory and fundamentals. Yeah maybe any random dev can hack together a model by downloading scikit-learn and throwing data at it, but you'll probably get much better results if you take the time to learn about concepts like cross-validation, overfitting, etc.

The "just do stuff" attitude has its merits, but there's also something to be said for working from first principles and learning some theory to back up your applied skills.
There is always an amount “billed” to insurance companies which is strictly imaginary. There is this billed rate, the negotiated rate per insurance provider, and a cash rate.
To add to this, there is even more going on behind the scenes in the Tesla Supercharging scenario that makes it so incredible effective. A lot of it has to do with charger use optimization. As sales of Teslas outpace growth of the Supercharger network, optimization of the chargers is increasingly important. Much like Apple, the fact that Tesla has fully integrated the entire ecosystem (car, mobile app, Supercharger, payments) means that they can also optimize the end-to-end process. For starters, the in-car display shows where the nearest Superchargers are and automatically plans your trip to incorporate them. After a recent update, you can now see the real-time number of open spaces. When the Tesla has its next navigation destination as a Supercharger, the car will automatically begin conditioning the battery pack (heating it, I believe) to allow the battery chemistry to more readily accept the pending influx of current. While the car is charging, the owner has constant visibility and notification of progress via the mobile app. This helps the owner plan to be back at the charger when the process has completed. Finally, Tesla has implemented monetary penalties for leaving a charged Tesla in charging spot after a certain grace period.

I suppose that what I’m trying to illustrate here is that the overall level of optimization of the charging experience might just remain unique to Tesla, enabling them to scale their user base more efficiently than competitive, non-integrated solutions.

If I understand this correctly the obligation to remove these structures from internetational law that the UK has agreed to. ISTM that the point of this law is to protect the ecosystems of the waters -- it seems to be operating on the assumption that leaving these structures in the ocean causes them to remain a disruption to the ecosystem. A sort of, you made your mess, now clean up after yourself, rationale.

But if leaving these structures in the ocean causes them to to become marine habits and is actually a net positive on the marine ecosystem, then the goals of this policy are at odds with its actual effects.

So now I wonder how hard it is to go back to OSPAR with evidence that leaving the structures in place is a good thing and getting the policy changed to allow that. Hopefully the OSPAR convention is less dysfunctional than the US Congress?
